Ugaritic texts

 * ... that the most famous Ugaritic texts are epic poems called the Baal cycle, the Legend of Keret and the Tale of Aqhat? Source: Schniedewind & Hunt, 2007, pages 26 and 117: "Three major literary texts—the Baal Cycle, the Keret Legend, and the Tale of Aqhat—have been discovered in Ugarit. These materials form the major, and perhaps the most significant, portion of the Ugaritic alphabetic corpus... Most of the major literary texts from Ugaritic are in the form of narrative poems. Included here are selections from the three most famous poems: the Baal Cycle, the Keret Epic, and the Story of Aqhat."

 * Symbol question.svg Interesting history, on good sources, no copyvio obvious. The image is stunning, but I think the other one would show in small size. Can you replace "famous" by something else? In the article, you will have to add references to all paragraphs. Can you combine one-sentence paragraphs? - A suggestion: the introduction should just be a summary, and then doesn't need references. Could you move the content to below, including the refs, and write a summary? --Gerda Arendt (talk) 21:22, 15 November 2018 (UTC)
 * Thank you for your thoughtful comments. I will work through these. I have started by replacing the photo - what do you think of this one? I have also amended the hook to replace the word “famous”. Onceinawhile (talk) 19:28, 16 November 2018 (UTC)
 * ALT1: ... that the best-known Ugaritic texts are epic poems called the Baal cycle, the Legend of Keret and the Tale of Aqhat?
 * I like the image better. Next time, don't "amend" the hook, but write an ALT, - or the conversation makes little sense ;) - I did it for you. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 21:46, 16 November 2018 (UTC)
 * As you didn't object I'll approve that version once all paragraphs come with a reference. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 11:53, 21 November 2018 (UTC)
